MKFM Column: Ann Marie kicks off new chillout show on MKFM

Former Brookside actress hosts new Night Beat show from 11pm to midnight on Monday to Thursdays on MKFM.

Former Brookside actress Ann Marie Davies has hit the airwaves on MKFM 106.3FM. The actress, business woman and Celebrate:MK columnist is on MKFM weeknights with the new chillout show Night Beat at 11pm.

Ann Marie first found fame in Channel 4 soap Brookside between 1998 and 2001 where her character, Katrina Evans, was a nanny and ran her own business on Brookside parade called Trina’s Tots. Other notable television roles include Heartbeat and Doctors.

Many will also know Ann Marie as the wife of former MK Dons manager Karl Robinson. The couple now regard MK as their home and Ann Marie has set up two businesses here, The Dress Empire and Body & Mind Reboot.

She said: “Ever since we moved to MK I have loved MKFM and it’s now great to be part of it. Even though the show is perfect to chill to, I can’t help singing along to the songs.

“Luckily the mic is turned down so nobody will have to put up with me singing!”

Ann Marie is also a professional model and former Mrs Universe UK and Mrs England World. That has inspired her to run Miss Great Britain Milton Keynes to support local charity The Henry Allen Trust, for whom she is an ambassador.

This year’s event is at Wilton Hall in Bletchley on Saturday 19th May 2018 with the winner moving onto the national finals.

Darren Dorrington, Managing Director of MKFM, said: ‘’It’s a pleasure to welcome Ann Marie to our team at MKFM. Night Beat is the perfect way to end the day with great songs.”
